RV Ranch, Burleson, TX

We spent two nights in Odessa. Ted was able to shoot at the Permian Basin Gun Club and I got caught up on odds and ends around here. We went to Mass Saturday evening and to Texas Roadhouse for dinner afterwards.

On Sunday we drove about 325 miles to Burleson, TX. We will be here for 8 nights. Today I found a salon and got a manicure, pedicure and a few other maintenance things done. However, I'll leave my hair color and cut to Brenda when I get home next week. Ted changed the light bulb in his truck tail light and that finished his jobs around here. He switched the bedroom and living area lights since we use the bedroom one all the time and never use the one over the couch. He finally found a 110 receptacle cover for the outside in Albuquerque. He changed that out and caulked it all. And our vent was replaced in Santa Fe so we're all put back together. These are all minor but you have to stay on top of such things. Our next stop will be Rayford, the campground near our house.

I looked back to see how we did with the blueprint that we had pulled together before leaving. The first change was Sikeston, MO instead of Dickson, TN. We just decided to drive a different route. We added the side trip to Elyria, OH for Ted's nephew's funeral, something we certainly never dreamed we would have to do. We stayed in Garryowen instead of Harding in Montana and Mancos instead of Durango in Colorado. We skipped Carlsbad, NM and Alpine, TX and went to Las Cruces, NM instead. This had to do with driving routes again. We stayed pretty much on the path we had set and kept to the timing.

I probably won't have much to post this week. Ted is going to Fort Worth tomorrow and Dallas on Wednesday to make business calls. By Thursday the Texas Boomers will start arriving. They said 29 rigs are coming in. Monday we'll leave for Rayford to empty out and clean the rig. It will probably be put away until December when we plan to attend the Texas Boomers Christmas Rally. But you never know ........

Enjoy your time with the Boomers.
We were in CW in Tacoma on Saturday and I ran into Don Allen.
He had brought his grand children back home.
